Hey

Please excuse my spelling and grammar. I truly am dyslexic.

I just read my own message. Just laugh with me..

re: increased Ponseti traffic

Isn't it wonderful to be a part of the fruition of one man's 50+ year

life's work! It was great for a few of us back in the fall to meet

Mrs. Ponseti--a true treasure. She shared with us how she has

been his greatest advocate in convincing him to come out of

retirement " for the sake of the children " . She used to be a professor

of English/Journalism and was the driving force behind his book.

(She also has published her own book(s?) in literature which is

advertised on the internet).She humbly shared her gratitude to

all parents who have helped her husband in what he has tried to

share for many years. She also shared her tender concern for

his health since the internet has brought him many world-wide

patients, for which I think Babhul wins the prize.

The increased traffic and phone-calls have kept the Ponsetis

traveling more than they probably would like, but they still continue

to do so because of their deep love for children. He made

a funny comment once to that those parents from the internet

always have LOTS of questions. Yet, he never makes us feel that

he doesn't have time to answer them, going on beyond the call of duty

to make sure we and our children are comfortable.

I stand back in awe of what this wonderful man and his wife have

accomplished. I think we all feel very fortunate to have our children join

the 2,000+ recipients that call themselves Ponseti's Kids.

I can't help but think that the momentum of this past year is

due to many driving forces with a common goal to give this kind man

and gracious wife what they have deserved to see for 5 decades--the peace

of mind that their knowledge could help reduce many unnecessary surgeries

resulting in pain-free, happy lives for children world-wide.
